Yes you can die from and ulcer because it can bleed inside your stomach .And please try and stay away from any ibuprofen and tylenol if you can help it.Because it eats up a lining in your belly that is how i got my ulcer from taking what i just named above so please go and have it fix.And yes it is caused by stress and depression as well so go see medical doctor or local emergency room cause you can die from it so take your body very seriosly.GoodLuck

I'm not sure, but see a gastrologist. They can figure out what's wrong. For me they figured out I had acid reflux disease, which gets worse with stress. So try not to stress. sometimes even that will stop it from hurting. Feel Better!!!!
EDIT: Just remembered, you can die from a Stomach Ulcer if it is very serious.

Yes, stress is a huge cause of ulcers actually. And i think that you can die from them (not to scare you), especially if they are in your GI tract. You can get blood stream infections as well as acid leaking out onto the other organs in your body. Definitly get it checked out

Prilosec sold over the counter might help. Try taking everyday for 2 weeks and see if htat helps. If not go tot he doctor for tests.

actually new research shows that ulcers are NOT caused by stress but by a bacteria and are now frequently treated with antibiotics. you need to see the doctor to be treated. stress can aggravate an ulcer because it causes the stomache to produce more acids, which in turn can make the ulcer worse. an ulcer may go completely through the stomache or intestinal lining and require surgery and immediate medical intervention. Please see a doctor

well yes you can die of almost anything
no a days it is very unlikely to die from a ulcer alone
but is possible
go to the drs ulcers can be treated by antiobiotics
and be cured
and years ago ppl would have to have a portion of their stomch removed.
you may not have an ulcer at all
but please go see a dr, he/she can help
esp if it is stress

Yes, my uncle was backpacking and passed out. He nearly died--he had a bleeding ulcer and had lost so much blood it nearly killed him.

Not trying to sound gross, but if you have a bleeding ulcer your stools will be very dark or black from the blood.

I also suffer from ulcers and the pain I am in currently is almost unbearable. They did a blood test for h. pylori but it was negative. My doctor prescribed Aciphex but no relief yet. If someone hasn't experienced the non-stop severe pain of ulcers, they simply can't understand how painful this condition is!

Stress increases acid production; depression can too.

I highly recommend you see your doctor and get treated for it! 9 months is way too long to suffer!!

Take good care of yourself!!

Yes.
